Who We Are
Tanisi, Tawow! /Hello, Welcome!
We offer psychological and counselling services for Indigenous, BIPOC, and non-Indigenous individuals. Our services are available to all communities and populations across Alberta, with locations in Edmonton and Calgary, as well as through secure online platforms.
We are deeply connected to the cultures we share on Turtle Island and remain inclusive to all. Our team embraces the Two-Eyed Seeing approach, as taught by Elder Albert Marshall, recognizing the value of viewing the world through both Indigenous and Western perspectives. We understand that culture plays a vital role in healing and well-being, and as professionals, we actively engage with culture to better serve those we support.
Our standard of care requires all providers to be culturally committed, trauma-informed, and dedicated to continuous learning and experience. Our clinicians hold certifications in one or more of the following: Somatic Therapy, Somatic Attachment, Indigenous-Focused Oriented Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and more.
We are a growing practice that welcomes professionals who share our passion for supporting Indigenous peoples and communities.

TWO-EYED SEEING APPROACH TO HEALING. EMBODYING LIVING IN THE TWO WORLDS AND THRIVING

Our counselling practice integrates neurological and embodied approaches, grounded in trauma- and resource-informed perspectives. We use psychological techniques that address emotional burdens, intergenerational trauma, discrimination, racism, lateral violence, and multiple forms of abuse.
We provide a holistic and culturally guided approach, drawing on the Medicine Wheel and other traditional healing practices led by Elders and Knowledge Keepers. Our work fosters awareness of systemic oppression, intergenerational and complex trauma, and emphasizes acceptance, transparency, respect, and kindness.
Relationships and collaboration are central to our practice. We recognize the importance of the individual, family, community, and society in the healing process. Our counsellors honour the diverse and intersecting identities of Indigenous peoples, including Status and Non-Status First Nations, Métis, and Inuit.
We connect clients with appropriate resources and funding opportunities. Each counsellor and psychologist practices independently within their own scope, following the standards and regulations of the College of Alberta Psychologists (CAP) and the Health Professions Act (HPA). All are contractors responsible for their own professional conduct.
